My Anzac Day 25th April 2020

On Anzac Day we made poppies with my nana.
 
Our first step was to cut the stem off the flower, the second step was to dip the flower into red food colouring.

Then the third step was to get a black marker and fill in the middle so it looked more like a poppy. 

After that we had to wait a little bit for our poppies to dry so we wouldn’t get food colouring all over our hands.

Once they were dry, my sisters, my mum, my nana and I took the poppies down to the cemetery to put on her dad, her brother and sisters graves.

My nana’s dad was a soldier in the 28th Maori Battalion of World War 2. He had four brothers who went to war with him to help fight and keep New Zealand safe.

My aunty Jess was on channel 1 news on Anzac Day standing with her work friends in front of the panther truck at the Auckland Airport.

Why is Anzac Day important for you? It’s important to me because all of the soldiers died to protect New Zealand and Australia so me and future generations have a better and safe life.

Dotterel Education trip

Dotterel  Education  Trip
What did you enjoy?
What I enjoyed most was going in the water and seeing the eggs
because it was fun splashing, doing handstands and seeing rear dotterel eggs.

What did you find challenging
The thing I found most challenging was making animals in the sand, me, Azanjah and Taina were making a Jellyfish sea creature in the sand.  We put water in but it didn't stay in but it didn’t stay there for long as the sand swallowed it.  It looked like the ocean, we were trying to find the sticks because they were hiding everywhere.

What might you do differently next time
What I might do differently next time is to bring hot dogs and fish and chips because I was super hungry.
